I am running this combo with a slightly narrower track than full width. Mine is 63" wide. I'm using my stock 2000 XJ brake master cylinder. I would put all stainless brake lines in place of the rubber ones as they "give" less.

That depends on the tire size

I run 36's on that combo with the stock MC and it stops about as good as stock, but I would upgrade if you can. I will either do a 95+ or an E350 MC swap.

well danno i believe the axles might be just the same as yours. i will find out in a little bit how wide they are. they are coming off a 79' ford f-150 ranger fully loaded. and right now i already have stainless brakelines, as they came with my lift.

mine were off a '78 Bronco/F150. I narrowed them a couple of inches (I think) to 63" wheeel to wheel. Put new chromalloy tubes, chevy flattop knuckles with Ford hubs from the Bronco. The handling improved dramatically even tho I also went up to about 7". I'm in the process of plating the left side "frame rail" and putting in a hydraulic cylinder cuz I was breaking the steering box off the rail in Moab. 36s will do that!

if you want to be able to stop at the same rate as before I would upgrade. I have 39.5s with a 44/14bolt and it hardly stops and isn't safe for street use.
